Xiao Zhi hesitated for a moment.
The conditions Su Han offered were really generous, after all, there was no mandatory requirement for him to give the divine beast at a certain time... and it sounded like being by Su Han's side would also be beneficial to the divine beast?
Upon further reflection, although Su Han had previously displayed a terrifying and ominous aura, he had not actually harmed them.
"I... will try my best," Ash said earnestly, pursing his lips. "But even if I have that strength, after capturing those legendary Pokémon... I will still ask for their opinions."
"If they are willing to come to see you... then I will give them to you."
Su Han nodded in satisfaction, muttering to himself, "Maybe that's enough."
Su Han had his own scales in mind regarding the convergence of plot elements. He would give a portion to those of high value, keeping them in suspense. For example, Tony Stark.
Of course, it's also possible to give everything directly, like Whitebeard and Madara Uchiha, who were completely drained in one go.
However, for characters like Huang Rong and Ying Zheng, Su Han readily provided the plot-related stars he condensed. As long as they offered something of sufficient value, he dared to condense them... not for any ulterior motive, but simply to uphold the previously established principle of equivalent exchange.
And Xiao Zhi, naturally, did the same. This was his early investment! Losing money didn't matter; condensing plot stars was nothing to Su Han anyway…
But if you win, it's a huge win; you can directly acquire several top-tier legendary Pokémon.
Legendary Pokémon in the Pokémon world, even capable of controlling the power of order. Whether as a mount or a pet, they are exceptional!
"Besides... this deal is very safe. If Ash's growth potential is not as good as that of the legendary Red when he is added to the Misty Space, then he really can jump off a hundred-meter-high building... that would be too embarrassing. As for Red, catching legendary Pokémon is a basic operation."
While internally ranting and raving, Su Han lightly tapped the back of the chair with his finger.
Ripples spread through the void, and one after another, rivers of history emerged from the void... That was the boy named Xiaozhi, who was on adventures with different companions in different rivers of history.
Upon seeing this, Whitebeard and Tony Stark's expressions changed drastically.
"How could this be?" Tony Stark muttered. "Several worlds? Are they parallel worlds? Or something else?"
Compared to Tony Stark, Whitebeard's thoughts were much simpler: "It's not just one..."
But then Whitebeard remembered that in Ash's world, there existed true gods.
Moreover, Ash promised Su Han that he would capture as many gods as possible and offer them up… Whitebeard immediately felt it was only natural. After all, the more you give, the more you receive.
Gradually, the story's stars coalesced. There were five of them, adorning the area around where Ash was sitting.
Although Pokémon has six series in total, Su Han stopped because of the art style of the sixth series... and can only materialize five series now.
"This is unbelievable..."
After muttering something, Xiao Zhi suddenly realized something. He glanced at Su Han, then carefully reached out his palm towards the first plot star and immersed his body into it.
Whitebeard and Tony Stark exchanged a glance and then followed them inside.
The misty space was empty again, but Su Han didn't mind. He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the power within his body. He suddenly discovered a special cultivation method.
Because Su Han was almost omnipotent in this misty space, he could easily observe the flow of energy within his body. And by adjusting it little by little, he gradually brought his skills closer to their peak.
Although this peak is only a theoretical peak, it's enough... As for the rest, we can return to reality and slowly practice using the methods of exploring the misty space.
Becoming stronger is never something that happens overnight! It requires seizing every opportunity and constantly striving and working hard.
Time passed slowly, and along the way, Madara Uchiha, Ying Zheng, and others entered the misty space. They subsequently discovered the presence of Su Han and numerous other story-related stars.
Although they didn't say anything, Su Han could sense their shock. It was understandable... after all, how many cycles of stars were there in the Misty Space? Suddenly, five more cycles appeared—who could withstand that? In the end, they all stepped into the new star.
After an unknown amount of time, Ash, Whitebeard, and Tony Stark emerged from the fifth star and sat blankly in their respective places.
After a long pause, Tony Stark said in a low, hoarse voice, "It was truly an unimaginable and fantastical journey."
“Yes.” Whitebeard nodded, then looked at Su Han on the platform with a strange expression. “However, I feel that the day when the council chairman’s deal is reached… is a long way off.”
Tony Stark recalled how Ash would reset his skill points and start over every time he arrived at a new location in the Star Trek storyline... and his eye twitched involuntarily.
"Actually, things aren't as bad as you think, are they?" Tony Stark scratched his cheek, feeling a little embarrassed by his own voice. "After all, that kind of situation is impossible in real life... otherwise, Ash would really become a complete idiot, wouldn't he?"
"Who's the little idiot?" Xiao Zhi asked, somewhat indignantly.
Tony Stark didn't answer Ash's question, but continued thoughtfully, "Most importantly, with the addition of the Misty Space... I think his future will be even more limitless."
Whitebeard's eyes flashed, and he nodded in agreement.
This misty space truly holds endless possibilities... It's enough that people from different worlds can glimpse the future of their own world, and even make equivalent exchanges with members of other worlds...
“Your Excellency the Speaker of the Council,” the white-bearded man suddenly spoke, gazing at Su Han’s body shrouded in mist, and remarked with emotion, “this time, you have truly refreshed our understanding of you once again.”
Tony Stark remained silent, but nodded in deep agreement.
After reading the plot of Starry Sky, he clearly understood the level of existence of divine beasts! That's why he was able to comprehend...
The so-called creator god Arceus is even etched into the star charts of the storyline, and they can even observe the future of this creator god. Just how terrifying is that...?
That's the god who supposedly created the Pokémon world... and it's still the same.
Xiao Zhi stopped talking. He was a bit simple-minded, but his intelligence wasn't beyond redemption.
After reading the story of Starry Sky, he realized that even the most powerful legendary Pokémon in the Pokémon world would probably seem as naive as cubs in front of Su Han.
"Your Excellency, I will do my best." Ash clenched his fist, raised his head, and stared intently at Su Han. "I will become strong enough to capture a legendary Pokémon in the shortest amount of time. Then I will go and search for a legendary Pokémon that is willing to follow you."
He said slowly and deliberately, "No matter how long it takes, I am determined to find this top-tier mythical beast."
Ash's attitude has changed drastically.
